Phil & Zorana Osborn created Pandanus Promotions Pty Ltd T/A Snow Travel Expo shortly after Phil proposed to Zorana under a Pandanus Palm Tree in Noosa, QLD on July 9, 2005. Living in Sydney's Tamarama Beach they have more opportunity to go surfing than snowboarding however both are keen snowboarders who love spending time in the mountains.

Phil is passionate about Action Sports and is a keen participant in surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking and dirt biking.

Zorana is a teacher with a passion for the outdoors. Having grown up in Yamba, one of Australia's most famous surfing location, she has great natural sporting abilities particularly for surfing, snowboarding and mountain biking.

Our vision for the Snow Travel Expo is to create in Australia a unified, clearly focused snow travel show which is vibrant, informative and useful for Australian's planning a snow holiday. Our goal is to run the Snow Travel Expos in great venues and do our best to ensure the shows are well promoted to allow as many snow enthusiasts to participate and become inspired in snow travel.
